Mission and Persecuted Church Prayer Meeting

Summer Mission Celebration
The summer period has been an exciting time for CBC/ COTG as many people have taken part in mission events either personally or through supporting those who have participated. On Sunday 1st October we will be having a Summer Mission Celebration event where we can hear from those who served on mission events which will then be followed by praying for God’s ongoing work in these mission areas. The timings still need to be confirmed but it will be roughly 4pm for finger food and hearing from those who went, followed by the evening prayer service. We hope as many of you as possible can come and please bring some finger food to share. If you are able to help serve drinks, set up the tables and clear up, please let Wendy Rowe know. We look forward to seeing you.

Reformation Remix Show – Sunday, October 8th at 6:30pm (doors open 6pm)
This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation starting with Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg. We owe a great deal to this period of church history, and to mark the occasion the Bible Society have created a show to tell the historical story in a very engaging and entertaining way. Corsham Baptist Church is hosting a live performance of the show on October 8th at 6:30pm and regardless of whether or not you’re are a keen historian or not this show is not to be missed! It is a free event, so please invite your friends to join too!
The Ark
The Ark begins again at the end of the month, Saturday 30th September 10.00am at Corsham Baptist Church. It is aimed at 0-7 year olds but all are welcome for bible stories, songs, craft, puppets and cake. We are very grateful to Alexa for all she has done for the last two years, but she is stepping down from leading the Ark at present. Thankfully she will still be doing some of the stories throughout the year. Hope to see you all on 30th September,
